I'm on soft solids now. I've noticed dairy is just not digesting well. Anyone else? What irritates your sleeve.... I can't digest yogurt or cheese. I found a small slice of turkey goes down ok. I'm trying egg salad today. Just boiled egg with light mayo.. Hoping that goes down ok. Trying a small teaspoon at a time ... One step forward and one step back seems like..

I am one of those that falls in the bucket of nothing bothers my sleeve and I am 3 months out. Blessing and curse. I love sweets and the bad carbs so I have to be careful. I also eat way to fast and sometimes the meat feels like a ton of bricks in my stomach.

I, like many others I've seen post, had trouble with the ricotta bake and with tomato sauce in general. I tried the ricotta bake twice and tho it does taste super yummy, it gave me horrendous heartburn. I thought that maybe I was just eating too fast or not chewing enough, but then I tried something else that had tomato sauce in it & quickly realized what the culprit was. The worst heartburn I've had in my life. Felt as if I had drank battery acid! My whole chest, neck & throat were on fire. Miserable I'm now very apprehensive about trying it again anytime soon.

For the first 3-4 months I couldn't do artificial sweeteners or plain water. I was also lactose intolerant. But those things passed, and I'm good to go with everything except carbonation. I will get a bit of gastritis if I drink too much alcohol or have too many sweets.

I've discovered that, along with my sleeve, I have a built in anti-fried-food switch. Anything fried makes me hurl violently.

That's not really a bad thing! I've gone from considering french fries a food group to being terrified of them. Now if I could only find some physiological mechanism to force myself to keep the laundry caught up, I'd be alright!

I hear some folks get lactose intolerant after being sleeved. For many it eventually resolves, but not for all who get it. Early on, the only thing I found was tough was rice. It seemed like it just wanted to "float". Good think I never cared much for rice! I can do rive just fine now in small quantities. Sushi is a fav. I can do 1/2 a roll. Other than that, as long as I'm smart about the quantity, nothing really disagrees anymore.

I had surgery on March 2nd. I couldn't wait to get the ok to eat eggs. My sleeve just won't let me. I'm so sad. I've tried twice and it just sits in my esophagus.

I got sleeved July 7th and I get off liquids tomorrow(yay eggs!!) So far my sleeve is total steel, but I've noticed my pallet has done a 180. I used to be able to drink 500 calories of milk a day (easy) and now.. I don't like the taste. Same with all my juices. Now, the only liquid I like is water. What a huge blessing! Especially considering milk probably contributed to a majority of my weight gain.

My sleeve likes cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, protein shakes with milk...pretty well all dairy. Eggs, turkey are a definite no go, chicken is starting to be tolerable but no more than two ounces, soft and chewed extremely well before swallowing! I haven't even tried any other meats because they seem to cause me problems at this stage!

I am 6 months out, hot food and drinks (not spicy hot, temperature hot) causes a little irritations...I still drink coffee but my tummy feels kinds blah for a few minutes.

Pasta! Other then that I do well with everything. Pasta makes me have pain so I don't eat it.
